Performance Groups program

Ages 5 and up

Overview

At Learn The Arts!®, our Performance Groups program offers a unique and exciting opportunity for musicians to take their skills to the stage. This comprehensive program combines private lessons in your chosen instrument with weekly group performance classes, creating a dynamic learning environment that focuses on both individual growth and ensemble skills. Whether you dream of rocking out in a band, swinging with a jazz ensemble, or exploring other musical genres, our Performance Groups program is designed to turn those dreams into reality.

Our Performance Groups program stands out through its innovative combination of individual instruction and group performance practice. Students receive regular opportunities to perform in real-world settings, covering a variety of genres including rock, pop, jazz, and more. This approach not only develops crucial skills in teamwork and communication but also builds stage presence and confidence. Participants learn the ins and outs of being in a working musical group, preparing them for a lifetime of musical enjoyment and potential career opportunities.

The Performance Groups program consists of two key components: private lessons and group performance classes. In your weekly one-on-one instruction, you'll receive personalized guidance tailored to your individual needs and goals on your chosen instrument. The weekly group performance sessions allow you to practice and perform with other musicians, learning to play as part of an ensemble. This dual approach ensures that you're constantly improving your individual skills while also learning how to apply them in a group setting.

Beyond honing your instrumental skills, our program offers a comprehensive musical education. You'll learn how to play effectively as part of an ensemble, develop stage presence, and master performance techniques. Practical skills like sound check procedures and equipment setup are covered, as well as the art of arranging songs for group performance. We emphasize improvisation and jamming skills, applied music theory, and the ability to read charts and follow a band leader. Professional etiquette for performances and rehearsals is also a key part of the curriculum, preparing you for real-world musical experiences.

One of the most exciting aspects of our Performance Groups program is the abundance of real-world performance opportunities. You might find yourself playing regular gigs at local venues and events, participating in community festivals, or performing at retirement homes and schools. There are also opportunities to play at larger regional events, and some groups even engage in recording sessions and music video creation. These performances not only provide valuable experience but also help build confidence and stage presence, setting you up for success in your musical journey.

Our Performance Groups program welcomes students of all ages who have some proficiency on their instrument. While beginners might benefit from starting with individual lessons, intermediate to advanced players will find this program particularly rewarding. We have groups for various skill levels and age ranges, ensuring that everyone can find their perfect fit and grow at a comfortable pace.

At Learn The Arts!®, we believe in catering to diverse musical tastes.
